A key area in your home, the place to eat, entertain, relax and unwind – the dining room! An important room in your home where you spend a lot of time should be given a great deal of consideration when it comes to re-designing. To help you, the designers here at CIMC have put together a handy guide offering style advice, the latest trends in dining furniture, colour schemes and themes too.
Starting off with the most important decision, colour scheme. Colours play a vital role in any room, therefore before deciding on playing it safe with a neutral or being bold and daring with a darker hue, consider the amount of natural lighting your dining room receives. Rooms that have a lot of windows and are bright and airy during the day will fully benefit from bold or darker hues, they’ll also create the perfect moody backdrop in the evenings for a romantic meal so consider some softly lit lighting such as candles and lanterns to create a wonderful ambience. A naturally darker room may look dull and dreary during the day with a darker room colour, therefore, consider a paler shade. Add bright lighting to really open the space up and create a welcoming feel. For that splash of colour, consider a bold coloured rug or add accessories such as wall art, coloured shades and table ornaments.

Well, you’re in the right place as we’ve got it all and better than this is all our dining products take inspiration from the latest fashion trends, ensuring your dining décor is always kept up to date.
Often the largest item in your dining room is, of course, the dining table. This will be the focal point of the room, therefore, should really stand out. For traditional interiors, check out the brand new Bayview dining table, featuring a natural wood construction with an art-deco inspired circular pattern with clear mirror insets. The beauty of this table is that it is so versatile that it will work with practically any coloured room. Furthermore, you can purchase a matching sideboard in this range to store all your crockery, cutlery and other table accessories.

Or for a more chic urban feel then check out the Soho dining table that features a black block style wooden base with a grey marble effect wood veneer tabletop. Matching suedette chairs are also available in this range to complete the overall look.


Smaller dining rooms or for those who prefer minimalist-style but at the same time remain stylish then the Nova and Delilah dining tables are for you. Featuring a simple cross chrome base with a tempered glass tabletop. The transparency of glass furniture creates the illusion of open space in smaller rooms and will equally keep it looking simple without a cluttered feeling.
